IN anticipation of the upcoming 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics, Bank of China and SM Supermalls came together on Saturday, January 22, to celebrate the Philippines' lone representative in the Winter Games – Olympic Alpine skier Asa Miller. The 21-year-old is set to compete in the men's giant slalom and slalom events in February.

The exhibition, titled 'Together on Ice,' successfully showcased the country's winter sports athletes at the newly reopened SM Mall of Asia Ice Skating Rink. The efforts of Bank of China and SM Supermalls, with support from the Chinese Embassy, the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC), the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC), and the Philippine Skating Union (PHSU), have given aspiring athletes and sports enthusiasts further exposure to ice sports; which, in a tropical country like the Philippines, is a rarity.
